"Bridging the Valley of Death": Overcoming Commercialization Obstacles

There are so many important stage-gates to overcome to get a process or product from invention to commercialization.  The purpose of this session at PDS17 is to invite experts in the field to share their commercialization successes and pitfalls.  Whether in manufacturing, research and development, regulatory, marketing, sales, and/or supply chain, the story will be critically important to the process development and the success of the commercialization and each function will rely on the success of the others.  Each speaker in this session at PDS17 may have a slightly different story to tell, because we have invited speakers from small, large, and consulting companies.
